HOW TO PARLAY ANY MULTI-LEVEL PROGRAM INTO A MILLION DOLLARS




Multi-level marketing is definitely the way to go for people



aspiring to have more than just enough to get by on. Most of the



world's leading economic forcasters say that by the turn of the



century, fully 75% of the world's consumer business will be



conducted via multi-level marketing plans.





The thing to do is to learn all you can about this method of



selling how it works, and why it works--and then to get going



with a multi-level marketing program that can accumulate a



fortune for you. Make no mistake about it, multi-level marketing



has made a lot of people very rich already, and will make a lot



more people even richer in the coming years.





Multi-level marketing is based upon the idea of each person



involved selling only to his or her friends, with each of these



people in turn, introducing their friends into the program. It's



definitely an "endless chain" idea that has unlimited



money-making potential.





Theoretically, everybody knows or comes into contact with an



average of 100 different people each week. If only 10 of those



people were to give you $10 per week, you would have an income of



$100 per week. And then, if these people were to duplicate your



efforts, passing back to you, $1 for each new person they



enlisted into the program, and then each person recruited



perpetuated the program, you income would soon be astronomical!





Undoubtedly, you've heard the story of how you can become rich



simply by saving a penny a day, and doubling it each day for 30



days. and then, there are the pyramid or chain letter schemes



that we've all been offered. Multi-level marketing, in principle,



works the same way, with the only difference being in the product



offered for sale.





All of these programs work to some degree--because there are



government restrictions and laws against the perpetuation of



these ideas--most of them make a big splash when they are first



introduced, and then quickly die out. However, the concept of



initiating a program that sells itself via an endless chain will



always be popular because it holds the promise of bringing riches



if only the chain isn't broken.





So, multi-level marketing appeals to everybody because it's an



opportunity for all the participants to get rich with a minimum



investment, and very little time or effort or involvement.





It works because everybody wants to become rich. it's an idea



that anyone--regardless of education, background or basic



financial status--can perpetuate from the privacy of his or her



own home.







The basic fallacy of multi-level marketing is in the number of



people each individual participant can easily enlist into the



program. After you've talked to all your relatives, your



neighbors, co-workers, and friends across town, you're more or



less stymied as to new people to bring into the program.





The bottom line is simply that you cannot recruit everybody you



talk to--in fact, if you enlist 10% of the people you attempt to



interest in the program, you'll be doing very well. You're going



to get some rejections, and these rejections are basically what



turns most people off--deflates their ego, drains their



enthusiasm, and in the end, is the primary reason they drop out.





Regardless of what you sell, you must always have a gaol in



mind--you intend to sell 10 units of a product or recruit 10 new



people into your program between now and the first of the month.



you've got to believe that you can do it--want to do it--and then



get out and beat the bushes until you do it! Once you've achieved



this first gaol, you should take a day off and reward yourself



with a night on the town or the splurging you've always wanted.





But then, after setting a goal for yourself, and then proving



that you can achieve it, you should set a new gaol for yourself--



if you recruited 10 new people into your program last month, then



this month, you're going to bring in 15 new members.





You're going to make the really big money in multi-level



marketing by selling "business start-up kits," and not really



from spending time inspiring or motivating the people you've



already brought into the program. In other words, sell the



program to as many people as possible, and count on the



motivational/money-making opportunities with-in your dealer



start-up kit to cause them to put forth the effort to get out and



try to make some money on their own. In the end, and as the old



saying goes: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make



him drink it--any time and or energy spend "calling back" on the



people you've already sold, is going to cost you money and limit



your gross income. To be successful in selling--and this is the



secret to multi-level riches--you must present your program to as



many people as possible. Close the sale with your first



presentation, and let the buyer either get with it, or die from



his own lack of initiative.





It's as simple as that--the more people you present your program



to, the more sales you're going to make. Don't worry about the



people who have already bought from you--they either will or they



won't and there's nothing you can do about it.





Obviously, if you spend all your time on the telephone inviting



people over to a Special Opportunity Party at your house, and



then another 3 -hours presenting your program to them, it's going



to take you a long time to present your program to 10,000 people



and make $10,000...







And, your costs to rent a hall--advertise--and present a seminar



progarm--will amount to more than you take in. If you have the



initial promotional abilities, the credit and/or cash, and a



really dynamic program--you can make it big, and quickly, by



staging seminar-type meetings at the rate of 3 to 5 per week.



Still, this is expensive and time consuming-- a lot of work on



your part, and not the easiest, most profitable way to go.





The only logical way to go--to reach as many people as possible



for the least amount of money and effort on your part--is via the



mails. In other words, the marrying of your multi-level marketing



efforts to mail order will be the least expensive and most



profitable for you.





You can spend out 50,000 sales letters and multi-level program



brochures in one month, and theoretically make $50,000 from an



expenditure of $10,000 or less--a return of $5 for every dollar



invested, which isn't bad...





Here's our recommendation:





1) Write a short, one-page report outlining the basic Success



Secrets of muli-level marketing. You can tag-line this report



with an invitation for the readers to send for a complete or more



detailed manual or tape relative to multi-level how-to; a



directory or current listing of money-making multi-level



programs; or even a listing of other reports relative to



money-making home-based businesses you have for sale.





2) Once you have such a report, the next thing for you to do is



advertise. Write an ad such as: FREE REPORT!... Money-making



secrets of multi-level marketers. SASE to Your name, address,



city, state, zip.





3) Place this ad in one of the national publications carrying



lots of mail order advertisements--such as The National Inquirer,



American Business, Money-making Opportunities, Entrepreneur,



Income Opportunities, Speciality Salesman or any one of the



hundreds of other such publications. It is our recommendation



that you contract to run such an ad over three issues. This will



give your ad maximum exposure, and should result in an



overwhelming number of responses for you.





4) In reply to each SASE you receive, first list the name and



address of each respondent, along with the date received and what



you send back to them, on 3 by 5 cards. Arrange these cards in



zip code and alphabetical order, and store them in an old shoe



box. Then, you take your one page report and along with your



multi-level marketing brochure--your program--you stuff the



envelopes and drop them off in your nearest mail box.





If you ad runs in the National Inquirer, you could expect to get



1,000 or more responses each time it runs. So far, your cost is



for the ad--the printing of the one page report--and your



multi-level program brochures. From these 1,000 free reports you



send out you should be able to convert about 300 into new members



into the multi-level program you're promoting.





Thus, for an initial cost of $30 for the ad--$100 for the MLM



brochures--and the time it takes you to stuff the envelopes--300



buyers at $10 each will give you a gross of $3,000... And that's



how you parlay your multi-level program into a fortune, using



mail order selling techniques.





One very important thing to always remember relative to starting



a new business: You cannot take any money coming in from you



business advertising, and use it to pay your "everyday" bills. In



other words, you cannot expect to use this money to live on---you



have to pour it back into your business to perpetuate that flow



of income.





Whenever you advertise, in addition to replies to your offer, you



can expect a "ton of mail" from other people trying to interest



you in what they're selling. Basically, you should go thru all of



this "junk mail' and look over, save the stuff that looks



interesting, is well done, or that you can learn from, and



perhaps "lift" some ideas from for use in your own selling



efforts.





Compile the names of the people and/or companies sending these



offers to you. Just as with those replying to advertised offer,



jot down the date and a short description of the material



received--and then send them a sales letter/brochure about your



multi-level program. In sending out sales letter/brochures to



thee people, you don't have to send them out immediately. You can



list these people in an "incoming offer notebook," and then



include them with your regular direct mail packages you send out.



But for sure, clip the stamps and save the incoming envelopes



along with those from your bona fide replies.





5) So you've spent $150 and made about $3,000 in a period of



about three months. Now you want to perpetuate this income, and



build it to twice that amount coming in every month. What you do



is take the income from that first ad, and increase your



advertising. In other words, use it to buy ad space in as many



other publications as possible.





If you first $150 brought in $3,000 from exposure in just one



publication, $2,000 will bring you $50,000 from exposure in 10



different publications. Continue multiplying your advertising



exposure and it won't be long before you will be "snowed under"



with dollar bills, checks and money orders. remember this though,



you cannot really spend any of that money on yourself until the



business is bringing in several thousand dollars per month on a



regular basis. You have to pour it back into the business in



order to allow your business to reach its full potential.





6) Make up a one-page "Money Tree" circular, similar to ours



which included a reference material within this report. Be sure



that you keep the cost to "find out about your program" to $2 or



less. Then, with a listing of money making reports such as



ours--printed on the back of your "Money Tree" circular--shotgun



this out to as many people as possible.





We've had outstanding success handing them out at local shopping



centers, passing them out door-to-door, and by including them as



"ride-alongs" with our bulk junk mailing program. The important



thing again, is to present your offer to as many different people



as possible--particularly to those people with an itch to get



rich quick...





In addition to circulating you "Money Tree" flyers by hand, you



should rent or buy-on a regular basis--as many different mailing



lists on income opportunity seekers as you can afford, and



shotgun one of your circulars to each of these names. The



publisher of this report (PREMIER) has names and addresses of



customers for $35 per thousand, on peel and stick labels. You can



also find inexpensive mailing list suppliers in just about any



publication that carries mail order advertising.





For sure, you should spend the money to obtain a 3rd class bulk



rate mailing permit, and then use it to send out all your



mailings. Start by sending out 250 pieces per week, and then



gradually increase your volume to the point where you're sending



out 5,000 or more pieces per week, and you'll be in business.





7) So the secrets to getting rich in mail order have to do with



presenting a free offer most people will find hard to pass up.



You make your money from whatever you send out in reply to the



people taking you up on the free offer.





You send them a copy of the free report, plus your multi-level



marketing brochure. You can stop there if you want, but there's



lots more money to be made just from these initial efforts.





Follow-up offers to people who, themselves are out beating the



buses attempting to drum up extra income, is the way the game is



played. So, when you receive all these names nd addresses of



people interested in receiving a report on multi-level marketing,



you compile the names and rent or sell them to other multi-level



operators.





Besides including your "Money Tree" circular, and the mailing



list rental offer, you should also include a one page circular



describing and offering for sale, a listing of your money-making



reports. And then, by soliciting co-op mailings from other mail



order operators, you'll have a "pretty full" envelope of offers



going out.





Finally, the one thing you must always bear in mind is how your



mailing package looks to the person receiving it. Your envelopes



should be professionally printed with your return address--your



sales letters should be written to impress the recipient; no



misspelled words or smudges from erasures or worn out



typewriters; and the eye-appeal of your coupons or offers which



are included; and by all means, the quality of your multi-level



brochure. Although multiple colored printing does tend to pull



better that just black and white, you can do very well starting



with just black and white materials so long a the image you



project is all professional. Photo-copying your offers hoping for



the best, just won't do. The more affluent you appear to be, fro



your envelope to each offer contained within, the better your



chances of making a sale.





So, that's how it's done--you can take these methods of how we've



done it, maybe even improve upon them a bit, and make tons of



money--or you can set everything aside and tell yourself that



you'll get started on it next week. The thing is, the



instructions are valid and the opportunity is here and



now--whatever you do is up to you.

Body Building Program






What makes an effective body building program? Well, it’s not all about just lifting weights. A good and efficient body building program will encompass various parts of the body as well as good nutrition and lifestyle habits. What do you need to know to make a good body building program? Actually, you need to know a lot!





First and foremost, you need to pay attention to what your body is able to do. Work slowly and work your way up to lifting the big weights. And yes, lifting weights is a big part of a good body building program, but it’s certainly not everything. You want to be sure that you start small and work your way up so that you don’t risk injury and hamper your progress.





A good body building program will contain a variety of exercises meant to work specific parts of the body at any given time. Your muscles will grow when you provide an adequate amount of resistance that is provided by the weights that you are asking your muscles to lift. Don’t overdo it, though. If you get injured, you will hinder your progress and not be able to grow in the ways you want to.





Good nutrition is important in any body building program. You need to be sure that you are getting the appropriate nutrients you need to be sure that your muscles are being given what they require to grow to new proportions. That means loading your diet with lots of protein and lots of carbohydrates. Fats are important as well – but be sure they are unsaturated fats which are actually good for your body in moderation, of course.





Be sure you schedule some rest days in your body building program. Your muscles need time to heal and to grow. The only time they will get that advantage is when you are resting. Muscles grow when the body is in a sedentary state, so be sure that you get a minimum of eight hours of sleep a night to help your body building program work to its full advantage.





You should also choose a variety of exercises that will focus on specific muscles. Your body building program should work every single muscle in your body, so choose exercises that will tone and work every muscle group possible.





A great body building program will make your muscles toned and fit. But more than that, it will make YOU toned and fit. If you are wanting to sculpt a beautiful body, pay special attention to the body building program you undertake. Then sit back and watch your dreams become a reality.

Adult Dyslexia: Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program




Another program to treat adult dyslexia is the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program (LIPS). This program generally uses phoneme awareness as its method to learn how to read efficiently.





The Program’s Premise





This method believes in the premise that the primary cause of problems related to decoding and spelling is the individual’s complexity in judging the identity, sound sequence and number that is found within words. This inability is then termed to be “weak phoneme awareness”.





A dyslexic person is basically thought of to have a weakness in his or her phonological processing. This weakness is the said cause on why both children and adults tend to add, substitute, omit, and reverse the sounds and the letters within the words that they read.





People with dyslexia cannot precisely get the words they are reading off the page, simply because even though they can correctly see the letters, they are unable to judge whether what they see would match what they are about to say. Because of this poor judgment, they are prevented from correcting and detecting their errors in spelling, reading and speech. Additionally, this can be the cause of difficulty when a person tries to learn a second language.





What It Does





The program aims to successfully develop a person with dyslexia’s phoneme awareness. Here you are able to apply the so-called awareness to your reading, spelling, writing, and speech both remedially and preventively.





If you train in this kind of program, you are aided to find out the different mouth actions that can produce real speech sounds. By the use of this kind of sensory information, you can verify sounds and know their order within words. Once you know this kind of skill, you are then enabled to correct yourself when reading, writing, spelling, and speaking.





Program Intensity





Generally, people under this program tend to gain several grade levels on their decoding ability within four to six weeks of having intensive training and treatment. If you are to undergo an intensive program, then you are required to undergo therapy for four hours in a day.





However, if you still have the choice on how intense you want your program to be. If you want it light, then they can adjust it so.





Findings have also shown that additional gains in speech and language skills have also occurred by the means of this sensory-cognitive method. This was observed even after the individuals have already reached a plateau through the traditional approach of speech therapy.





Where You Can Find It





You can undergo this kind of program by going to a Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes Center. You can find one in over fifteen states in the United States and United Kingdom. The public can have access to materials that are included in the program such as a manual with a detailed presentation of the steps that you have to take in the program. Some outlines and sample dialogues are also included.





You would also need some of their support products. Some of these are their classroom kit, program clinical kit, training videos, a practice CD, and a testing kit. These products are included already when you apply for their program.





Other Conditions For The Program





The program also caters to other conditions related to dyslexia, such as hyperlexia. This is a condition where you may have specific problems in comprehending the data that you just read, even though you can read it accurately.

How to Expand Your Email Program


It is very important for the business to diversify and expand for survival. Certainly, increase in the number of emails is a tricky proposition, especially if you are showing your subscriber with emails on different topics than they had chosen in the start. The subscriber does give you permission to mail him when he subscribes and registers on your website. You may think just another email about a new product or sales flyer wont hurt and instead will increase the marketing and the email program and in turn the business. You would want to get the most out of the subscriber’s database by getting maximum return on the member acquisition costs. But it is not as simple as it sounds as you may irritate the present subscribers so much that they wont sign up for new information. In fact you may receive flood of unsubscribe requests or spam clicks or just indifference.



Interest cannot be interchanged with permission. Assumption must not be made that you have the permission to message them anything that they had not requested. There is a minute point where the email program goals meet the preferences and expectation of the subscriber. Instead of increasing the email frequency, emphasis must be made on increasing the quality of the email in order to make each email valuable to the customers. Switching from a bi-weekly email to a weekly one means that the content should be twice as effective. The content should be relevant along with being effective. Relevant content is the key point of targeted marketing. The current emails should include more specialized publications in order to make the most out the customer database.



Do not try to impose the company’s will on the customers; instead take them to the new information by making it as attractive as possible. The marketing program can be expanded by not violating the expectations or the original permission grant, in order to respect the reader’s interest. Certainly permission must be taken from them. Increasing the frequency of newsletters also means increase in expenditure. While emailing we might think that the email belongs to a different category but if the subscribers are not able to differentiate a regular newsletter from the special offer, the effort is worthless.



The emails should always start by a topic in the message category chosen by the subscriber. Always include a link for signing up, which is easily locatable. Many marketers do not realize the value of transactional messages. If the buyers are not able to signup for the email program when buying, the transactional email can be send to them to confirm the product purchase and also to promote the company’s newsletter.



Since the new subscribers are eager, this enthusiasm must be highlighted in the welcome letter which should also include other offerings which weren’t chosen at the time of sign-up. The information should be brief and the benefits must be focused upon. A link should be included which would direct to the subscriber’s preference page where the sign-up choices can be edited. It is a good idea to create a facility by which they can email the article to their friend. If the information is really interesting, there will be chain of subscribers.





Sample issues can be do wonders to get new customers if they are used properly, otherwise they will result in the spam folder. The sample can be tested initially on recent buyers or current subscribers who didn’t respond to emails during a time period. Clearly state on the top that this email is a sample only and the receiver will continue to receive it if they sign-up for it.



Certainly diversifying and branching out the email holdings helps in the growth of the email program and business. Success can be attained when the subscribers are given freedom to manage their inboxes. Use the channel for emailing which the subscribers has given permission to.

How to Evaluate an Affiliate Program




There are numerous affiliate programs present on the internet that offer benefits to the affiliate marketers. Every program claims that it is the best and can provide the best opportunities to affiliates. But all affiliate programs are not reliable. Several things should be considered before selecting an affiliate program. We are listing some important factors that should be considered.







Products





Every affiliate program must have some products to sell. These products may be the physical products which require delivery or some e-products which require the instant downloads after online payment. A good affiliate program must offer a wide range of products to the affiliates to choose from. The programs that have smallest number of products should not be considered. Such programs are not considered to be strong and can collapse any time due to financial crisis. The programs that have thousands of products are usually strong; volume is a sign of their strength. A good affiliate program must offer products of different categories, so that an affiliate doesn’t feel the need to look for another affiliate program if he wants to promote some other type of product.





Organization's Track Record





Try to learn as much as possible about the track record of the affiliate program you are considering joining. It is very easy to do this. You can use search engines for this purpose. Just type the name of the affiliate program and all available information on the internet on this affiliate program will be in front of you. Also see the testimonials present on the website of the program and look for the number of years for which it has been in business. Avoid the new companies. Strong organizations always display their annual revenue generated. From this you can more easily determine the success of that organization. Also look for the top merchants and affiliates that have joined the organization and what are their reviews about the program.





By answering these above questions you will get a lot of information about the past progress of affiliate programs. In light of this information, you can easily decide which at program you should or should not join.





Support Available to Affiliates





Many affiliates are new in the field of affiliate marketing and they don’t know much about this business. They need guidance and suggestions at every step. On the other hand, the people in the affiliate programs are very experienced and have been in the business for many years. They know the possible difficulties and their solutions.





If you are an affiliate and want to join an affiliate program, always see if they are willing to provide you good support because you may face some difficulty during your business and if you cannot get proper support it can waste your time and money.





Payment





Always check to see what the available methods of payment are offered to the affiliates in each affiliate program. If they are only offering the payments in some special method, then check to see if you use that method. For instance, if an organization pays through PAYPAL, then you should see if your can receive the payment in your country through PAYPAL because PAYPAL is not available in every country.





Conclusion





Don’t join any affiliate program in a hurry. Do proper research and gather all the possible information about the organization, you are going to join. The most important things to consider are their products offered, their payment schedule, their support and previous record. You can gather all of this information by using the search engines and searching the official website of the organization. If the organization been in business for many years, if they have thousands of products to promote, offer good support service, have a good payment schedule and options, then you should join that organization. Avoid the organizations that are new in the business and are not offering a good number of products to promote.

How to Choose an Affiliate Program




If you are an affiliate marketer, you have two options. The first option is to choose the product which has a great demand in the market. These items are expected to be sold immediately due to the interest of the people. Some examples of such particular items are dating sites, casino sites and weight loss products. The second option is to choose a product that suits your interests and you, yourself like to promote it.





We recommend you choose a product which is considered to be the hot product in the market as well as you having some interest in it. For example if you are golfer, then you should choose golfing products to promote. These products are among the hottest products on the market.

Choose Hot Products





Always choose the items which have a high demand in the market. If you want to choose a product but don’t know about the demand of that product, then visit Overture.com. Here you can check the bidding status of a product. If you find that many sellers are bidding for it, then it means it is a demanding product.







Be Familiar with Product





You must be knowledgeable about the product you are selling. If you do not know much about the product, how can you satisfy and convince your customer? You must know all the drawbacks of the product. Also do the comparative study of the product with the other same types of products present in the market. Provide your customers with this comparative study using graphs and tables. This will help sell your customers.





Good Sales Letter





Your sales letter is considered to be the key point for boosting your sales. It should be convincing enough for your consumer to want to buy. A good sales letter will attract visitors. You should also add some testimonials in it to make it more effective and believable.





Money Back Guarantee





If you want consumers to buy your product with no hesitation, then give them the benefit of a money back guarantee. If the affiliate program owner is not providing this guarantee with the product, then you should look for another merchant.





Contact Info





Physical address and contact info must be given on the site. This makes your website more reliable and trustable to your customers.





Real-time Statistics





Choose the affiliate program that can show you the real-time statistics of your visitors and sales. This will tell how many visitors are going to the merchant website from your website and how many visitors are converted into buyers. This will help you to see your progress.
